Please have a look! thanks fellow musicians

Bundy has been making quality instruments for years and this one is no exception.

ummm.. they have?

ummm.. they have?

lol, yeah right! nothing reaks of a student instrument more than a Bundy... I have had a terrible experience on a Bundy Alto, and an even worse one on a Bundy tenor!
no offence, but it didn't sound good on the video at all, the high notes, honestly,sounded more like a whistle, and were excessively shrill! I don't mean to be rude, but some sounded horrendous. I just don't like when people falsely advertise on ebay, especially claiming cheap quality instruments to be marvelous.
anyways, let's think positive things!

When I was nine years old, I got a Bundy flute. It was okay for a nine-year old. When I was twelve years old, I got a Bundy piccolo. It was okay until I got to high school and used the school's Haynes piccolo.

The audio clip is pretty accurate in showing the limitations of this instrument.

"All keys/pads are in great condition"
should i have elaborated more?
Well bundy is a pretty good student horn brand...good quality for such a low price. I dont see how that is false. Thank you for your tips, I shall certainly keep them in mind on the other instruments i Sell

lol that was funny suzie..

Okay, let's just be truthful here.. Bundys are crap! Bundy was my first flute and Sax and they both fell apart and were horrible! I think they even some of the off brand ebay flutes out shine them now. lol!

I played a Bundy for most of my playing years-it never let me down. Of course, we're talking over 30 years ago--maybe they've changed since? (My dad bought it new for me after winning my first competition--I was disappointed, but heck-it beat the piece of junk I learned on, a no-name nickel plated, missing crown contraption...)It was a beginner, but I did win a couple of awards with it. I remember my flute teacher in college made me promise to buy a new flute during the year I took off college to work for my parents--but I went to Europe instead...

Finally bought a new flute 15 years ago--to play casually--and then this year replaced it with an Altus, which I dearly love. Of course, small town, no significant music stores so can't really try any others to see if I'm just easily satisfied. Have that old Bundy still--plan on taking it apart and replacing pads, fixing it up, just for the heck of it--to see if I can do it...someday.

There are quite a few dealers and consigners who will send you some flutes to try out in your home. You typically give them a credit card number with a sufficient balance to cover a lost or damaged flute during the trial, or to pay for the flute should you decide to purchase it after the trial. However, there are some places that don't put this "hold" on your card.

You also might have to pay for shipping charges, either both ways or at least when returning the instruments after the trial period.

So it IS possible for you to receive flutes to try out in your small town!
